Brief Answer:
Painful lump on left side of chest
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
If possible upload image of lump.
The lump above your left rib cage seems to have communication with your left pleural space,as it pains on coughing or you get uncomfortable while lying on your left side. In absence of physical examination,best thing you can do is to go for an chest x-ray PA and left lateral view and let me know the findings. Meanwhile you can take paracetamol or NSAID(Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) e.g. piroxicam with antacid to relieve acute pain.
